Contemporary Poetry
Saturday, May 10, 12–6pm

NADA is pleased to present Contemporary Poetry, a marthon reading by 30 emerging and recognized New York based poets curated by Sam Gordon. The program will be held on Saturday, May 10th, 12–6pm at NADA New York in the upstairs Tacombi Lounge.

When Frank O'Hara wrote “Having a Coke with You,” poetry and painting walked hand in hand through the streets of New York. Contemporary Poetry collects a group of poets today, connected by varying degrees, once again engaged with artists in moments of dialogue and exchange.
